No one is mentioning battery life of this thing. After the firmware update, my Archos Gamepad is performing very well, except for the dismal battery. I wonder what else the S7300 can improve on the Archos.

Does anyone know yet if the analog sticks are “real” or not? That’d be my only barrier to getting one of these at the moment. That and battery life, but as long as it at least lasts as long as the 3DS (which shouldn’t be hard) I can live with it.

Yeah, I’m probably going to wait for a review anyway, just in case there are any massive unforeseen flaws – I don’t want to drop $150 on one of these and then find out it crashes all the time or the shoulder buttons fall off or something.

I just had a look at the video you posted – it does seem like the person is using the left stick to move and the right to aim, but you only see them assigning the D-pad and buttons at the start of the video, so I’m not sure how they’re mapped to the game controls. I’m not familiar with the button mapping software (or Modern Combat 3) though – anyone have any insight into how it might be working?
